We are a small friendly club with a membership of approximately 30, encompassing a wide age range from 18 upwards, ensuring an informal and friendly club atmosphere where all are welcome.
Our meets programme consists of monthly weekend meets using climbing huts around climbing and mountain areas of England, Scotland and Wales. Members can then enjoy taking part in the many different aspects of mountaineering: walking, scrambling, rock climbing and winter climbing. In addition to this there is a monthly, sunday climbing meet at one of the Peak District crags.We also have members who informally climb midweek at either the nearby climbing walls (Creation, Redpoint, Wirksworth or Nottingham) or, weather and daylight permitting, evenings in the peak district are possible. Club members have previously organised summer trips to the Alps too.
The club is socially active also, meeting weekly at the Burton Bridge Inn. (Tues 21:00 on wards)
